India won the 3rd T20I against New Zealand and the series with it under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. The match was a showcase of immense talent by the Indian side as they outclassed the Kiwi team by 168 runs. The trophy celebration saw a peculier moment as Hardik Pandya collected the trophy and immediately passed it to Prithvi Shaw, who despite not playing, was the most enthusiastic of the team.

Prithvi gladly accepted the trophy and posed for photos in the center. Hardik faced criticism for not giving Prithvi an opportunity to play and sticking with Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill as openers. Prithvi Shaw, the young opener for the Indian cricket team, was earlier left out of the playing XI for the third T20I against New Zealand. This news has come as a surprise to many fans and experts who were expecting him to be selected for the match. India have won the toss and elected to bat first, with Shubman Gill retaining his place in the side. Umran Malik returns in place of Yuzvendra Chahal.

Here’s the heartwarming video:ย 

The omission of Shaw has sparked a lot of discussions and debates among cricket fans and experts. Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer and now a well-known cricket commentator, had something to say about Shaw’s situation. Chopra believes that when a player is given a chance, they need to be backed completely. He also added that if Shaw is given a chance today, only two things can happen: either he will score runs or he won’t. If he scores runs, it’s great but if he doesn’t, everyone will say that he has failed and will no longer be in their plans.

Chopra believes that giving Shaw only one chance in a must-win game is not the ideal thing to do and that the player needs to be given a full chance. He concluded by saying that he doesn’t expect any changes to the batting order for today’s match.

It remains to be seen how Shaw will respond to this benching and what the future holds for him in the Indian cricket team. However, it’s important to remember that cricket is a team sport, and the selectors have made their decision based on what they believe is best for the team’s success. Whether Shaw will get another chance remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain, the young opener has a lot of potential and talent and will be eager to prove himself when given the opportunity.

In conclusion, Shaw’s benching has sparked a lot of discussions and debates, but it’s important to remember that the selectors have made their decision based on what they believe is best for the team’s success.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Prithvi Shaw’s exclusion from the 3rd T20I against New Zealand:ย
